To provide evidence that goes against a claim is called

• support
• choose

• refute

If you have a liquid that changes to a gas, explain it's freedom of movement in both phases.

• molecules move away from each other, then around each other
• molecules move in place, then around each other
• molecules move around each other, then away from each other
• molecules move around each other, then in place
